Ukraine is burning through artillery shells. Now the US is increasing production by 500%.

• The US is aiming to increase production of a key artillery shell used by Ukraine.
• The hope is to manufacture 90,000 rounds of 155mm ammunition by 2025.
• The US currently makes just over 14,000 rounds per month.

The United States is planning to dramatically ramp up production of a key artillery round that Ukraine has used to beat back Russia's full-scale invasion of the country, The New York Times reported Tuesday.

Under the latest proposal, the US aims to within two years produce up to 90,000 rounds 155mm of ammunition every month, The Times reported, citing a US Army report.
